Lecture 13 Nursing care delivery Flashcards
Total patient care
Care delivery model in which the nurse assumes total responsibility for meeting all the needs of assigned patients during their time on duty; the oldest mode of organizing patient care.
An example of total patient care is _
Home health nursing.
Functional nursing
Care delivery model in which care is organized by task, with specific tasks (e.g., medications, wound care) being performed by different nursing personnel rather than one nurse.
Functional nursing is best used in _
Crisis and disaster situations.
Team nursing
Care delivery model in which ancillary personnel collaborate in providing care to a group of patients under the direction of a professional nurse, who is responsible for knowing the condition and needs of all the patients assigned to the team and for planning individual care.
Primary nursing
- Care delivery model that requires a one-to-one relationship between nurse and patient; all staff must be RNs, with the primary RN assuming 24-hour responsibility for planning the care of one or more patients from admission (or start of treatment) until discharge (or treatment end).
- In this model, there are no ancillary care providers, unless a partnership approach is also used.
Case management
- A collaborative process that assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors, and evaluates options and services to meet an individual’s health needs through communication and available resources.
- Occurs over a continuum and may focus on acute and chronic conditions.
Relationship-based nursing is synonymous with _
Primary nursing.
The most common care delivery model in the U.S. is _
Team nursing.
Modular nursing
A mini-team (2-3 members) approach to nursing care that allows the professional nurse more time for planning and coordinating team members; the small nursing team requires less communication, allowing members better use of their time for direct patient care activities.
